Hell Bent for Speed
Pay attention Mark and take notes... see how us real racers do it.
Spent the weekend hanging out with Sluggo and Rick down in Oklahoma City, OK. Bonnie and I left early Saturday morning (late none the less...) and headed south to the red land of Oklahoma to meet the infamous Texas duo: Sluggo and Fast68Back. Took about 5 hours with pee breaks (for her - not me).
We met up at the hotel around 2 or so (I think it was). Rick was gracious enough to make a couple of T-shirts for him and I to wear for the occasion too.
We checked into our rooms and Rick & I adorned our new shirts and headed back off to find Sluggo and his better half to head to Pole Position Go-Karts.
Sluggo liked da shirts.
This was the track at Pole Position:
Then the racing started. These were electric carts, but they still got up and ran. Top speed was 45mph.
From L to R: Me, Sluggo & Rick
And Bonnie bringing up the rear:
Session Two
Front to back: Bonnie, Rick & I. Sluggo is walking way in da background behind the wall.
Session Three (I think)
Front to back: Two young kids who kept getting in the way, Sluggo, Bonnie, Rick & I
Rick and I
And da results...
After the festivities we cleaned up and went to one of the local Brew houses, it was either PJ's or BJ's Brew house... not sure which.
They jacked up Sluggo's pizza but he was a trooper and ate the veggies anyway. The beer was pretty good too - not bad for a "chain" type microbrew.
